Trump Town Hall with Hannity Interrupted by Black Lives Matter Protesters

August 23, 2016

Donald Trump's town hall in Austin, Texas with Fox News' Sean Hannity was interrupted on Tuesday by protesters from Black Lives Matter.

While Trump was speaking to Hannity about illegal immigration, multiple people interrupted the town hall at several points with loud chants of, "black lives matter!" The town hall was not live, but taped earlier in the day before Trump had a rally.

Protesters interrupted several times before being led out of the event. Trump and Hannity remained fairly calm and even joked about the incidents.

After the first incident, Hannity directly responded.

"I have a message for those guys, all lives matter," Hannity said to applause from the crowd before going back to talking to Trump.

After the next interruption, Trump and Hannity kept talking although they at first looked at the source of the disruption.

After yet another interruption, Trump and Hannity paused as they could barely hear one another while Hannity attempted to talk over it. When it didn't end, Trump asked Hannity to wait for security to handle it before continuing.

"Might as well let this kid finish. Might as well let the police do their job," Trump said.

Hannity decided to joke about the incidents.

"All right, all of Texas is conservative except a little bit of Austin," Hannity said. "You gotta admit, Hillary Clinton doesn't have this much fun on the road, right? By the way, that was an audience member that escorted her out."
